Where have I made any personal attack against Jack Trimarco? While I have criticized some of his public pronouncements regarding polygraphy (including, for example, comments made on the Bill O'Reilly Show, the Dr. Phil Show, and in a videotape made for the Department of Energy), and note that he erroneously found me deceptive on an FBI pre-employment polygraph examination (see my statement, "Too Hot of a Potato: A Citizen-Soldier's Encounter with the Polygraph"), my criticisms have been substantive, and not personal in nature. The only impropriety I have called attention to is his use of the FBI seal in marketing his polygraph services. (He has since modified his website, featuring the seal much less prominently.)

Although Jack Trimarco's erroneous polygraph results caused me long-term career harm, I don't hold him personally responsible, and I certainly don't hate him. During my FBI polygraph, his comportment was at all times proper, and while I have not had the opportunity to review my polygraph charts (the FBI claims it is unable to locate them), I have no reason to believe that he did anything that was inconsistent with his training as a polygraph examiner.

As for your suggestion that I am somehow disloyal to my country, see my Rebuttal of Defamatory Remarks by Polygraph Examiner Dr. Louis I. Rovner, Ph.D. My polygraph results notwithstanding, no one directed me to seek employment with the FBI. I never provided classified information to anyone unauthorized to receive it. I never had unauthorized contact with a representative of a foreign government. I never used or sold an illegal drug, nor did I withhold any important information from my FBI application.

I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army Reserve after 20 years of active and reserve service. I have done all that my country has called upon me to do. I feel no need to further defend myself against charges of disloyalty from the likes of you.
